Are you planning to attend the Plant and Animal Genome Conference in January 2025 #PAG32 ? You can now submit an abstract to present your work at one of the Phytobiomes Alliance workshops: - “Exploring Phytobiomes” workshop | Sunday 12 January, 4:00-6:10pm This workshop will feature talks exploring various aspects of research to understand phytobiomes systems. - “The Uniqueness and Commonalities Between Plant, Animal and Soil Microbiomes” workshop | Tuesday 14 January, 4:00-6:10pm This workshop will explore the interconnections between plants, animals, and soils, and their shared environments. Research related to interactions with people as defined in the One Health approach are also of interest. Presentations should demonstrate how knowledge gained from these diverse communities can lead to a general understanding of agriculturally related microbiomes. Abstract submission deadline: Tuesday 5 November 2024, 23:59 US Eastern Time. 👉More information: https://lnkd.in/g4p-DgHP

Good literature searches are an integral part of planning animal research and testing. This is where hashtag #systemicreview comes in. Systemic reviews of published animal experiments are a useful aid in planning research and can also be used to extract new conclusions from experiments which have already been performed (so-called Synthesis of Evidence), thereby avoiding the need for new ones. This summer University of Zurich, in collaboration with hashtag Norecopa and the University of Bergen (UiB) are putting on a program led by experts in Systematic Review. Check out amazing program here: https://lnkd.in/eJTMxkX3 and register here: https://lnkd.in/eAW2uuUh to you learn all the steps needed to perform a systematic review of your own, including how to perform literature searches, how to manage references, how to screen abstracts, and risk of bias.

🔬 Discover the interesting work by Thomas Freimuth from the German Research-Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) as he shares the outline, methods, and the expected outcomes of his Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) performed at University of Borås under the supervision of Amir Mahboubi Soufiani and Negar Baserehtaromsary! It's a fascinating look into the conversion of food and feed by-products into valuable feed components for larvae of the black soldier fly, a promising future feed protein source! 👇 Watch the following video to learn more about Thomas's research and the impact of STSM programs. #STSM #research

New Paper Coming Out! Recently, our team members Caroline Marques Maia, Pablo Arechavala-Lopez, María J. Cabrera-Álvarez, and Joao L. Saraiva have co-authored a paper now available online as a pre-proof in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science. This study investigated the preference responses of Nile tilapia for different structural enrichments, demonstrating that such fish preferences are a matter of time and frequency of visits. 💡 The authors show that although Nile tilapia prefers to visit both a shelter and a complex structure similarly, this fish prefers to stay longer at the shelter. Thus, the number of visits or the time spent at a resource provides distinct preference responses. >> If you are interested, access the already published pre-proof of this paper here: https://lnkd.in/dxjsgGYY #fishwelfare #fishbehaviour #Niletilapia #environmentalenrichment #science #research #fish #fishes

📢 Join us for the 3rd session of our seminar series, “Emerging trends in systematic reviews for 3R principles”. The conduct of systematic reviews to support animal research is increasing in popularity and exciting techniques are developing rapidly. During each seminar session, an expert guest speaker will provide insights into their work, showcasing specific tools, resources, and approaches. In the upcoming session, Dr Carlijn Hooijmans will talk about the GRADE approach for animals. What is the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach? And how can we use this approach to evaluate research evidence to promote the translation of findings? ️ 🗓️ Tuesday, October 8th, 2024 🕔 5pm CEST 🖊️ Register now by using the QR code below 👇 or via the official sign-up link: https://lnkd.in/gA5jSCpV 👉 Find out more about the COReS seminar series here: https://lnkd.in/gePXRYSr #COReS #SeminarSeries #GRADE #Preclinical #SystematicReview #3Rs #Resources #ResearchEvidence

On today’s episode of the Community Wire, Dr. Younes Miar, Assistant Professor of Animal Genomics and Bioinformatics at Dalhousie University, joins us to share insights into the innovative Swine Cluster 4 research project utilizing advanced genomics and machine learning to enhance the resilience and robustness of pigs. #CdnPork production faces challenges in balancing productivity with animal welfare and environmental impacts. Mortality losses between weaning and market weight results in significant economic losses, amounting to $240 to $300 million annually for the Canadian pork industry alone. This highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions. Dr. Miar’s research focuses on improving key traits such as survival rates and feeding behaviours by breeding pigs that are healthier, more resilient, and better able to thrive in changing environments. Want to learn more about how this research is shaping the future of pork production? Check out the fact sheet here: https://bit.ly/4f6WugR #CommunityWire #SwineInnovation

aRukon actively integrates the principles of the 3𝑹𝒔—𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆, 𝑹𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆—into its mission to transform how biological samples are managed in research. These foundational principles guide ethical scientific practices, minimizing animal use while maximizing data quality. However, aRukon takes this further by championing the 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐑: 𝐑𝐞𝐮𝐬𝐞. Through its innovative platform, aRukon enables researchers. #EthicalResearch #3RsInScience #AnimalWelfare #AnimalResearch

All credit to Jarrod Bailey for an eloquent and thoughtful opinion piece on the role of the 3Rs! I would just like to point out one possible misconception: he quotes my paper (ref. 62) to back up a statement (on the subject of the need to focus on human rather than animal biology) that 'either the evidence is largely overlooked, or there is a belief that these issues can be overcome with better experimental technique and/or analysis (ref. 61–64) and/or genetic modification (ref. 16,65). This is in stark contrast to other scientific and engineering disciplines that try to rigorously challenge their models, and alter their approaches, based on solid data.' My paper describes the PREPARE guidelines (https://lnkd.in/d5YKB-5) which start with focus on what Jarrod wishes: better evaluation of the necessity, ethical acceptability, legality and translatability of the planned study. PREPARE highlights the need for a thorough literature search. PREPARE stands therefore in contrast to reporting guidelines, whose primary aim is to improve animal studies. My paper includes the statement: 'An assessment of the need to use animals at all must therefore be the first stage of the process when planning preclinical research or testing'.
In a critical review authored by former Animal Free Research UK Science Director, Dr Jarrod Bailey discusses if the Three Rs have achieved enough, and what needs to change to accelerate adoption of human-specific research utilising New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). The case is made that moving away from the Three Rs and working towards a Replacement only approach is the most effective way forward, enabling us to advance our knowledge of human biology and disease while achieving the goal of removing animals from laboratories altogether.

In 2003, researchers Jack Horner and Mary Schweitzer discovered unfossilized material in a T-Rex bone. They were able to retrieve molecules of collagen, a structural protein found in slightly different forms of animals, and compare them to 21 living animals (the chicken being one of them). When the results came back, the researchers discovered that chickens were the closest living match to the T-Rex. Hard to believe, right? Let's go over their similarities: 🐔 Both walk(ed) on two feet 🐔 Both have/had hollow bones 🐔 Both are/were warm-blooded 🐔 They share a similar protein sequence Of course, they will have their differences: 🥚 T-Rexes were reptiles, and chickens are birds 🥚 Chickens use their hollow bones to fly, and T-Rexes used theirs to support their large bodies 🥚 T-Rexes were very much larger than chickens If you're interested in learning more, here's an article from Smithsonian Magazine that goes into more detail about the outstanding discovery: https://lnkd.in/gZsJC3wz #savetheanimalstoday #pattiesranchhomeofstat #stathorsesanctuary #statsanctuary #equinetherapy #winchesterca #personalwellness
